Kristi Woods didn't meet God until her mid-20's, and from the very beginning she knew that going deeper in His Word was not only key to eternal peace, but also a daily passion—a dance, if you will, of seeing Him work in and around her days and moments. From her own experience of knowing God, Kristi longs to encourage others to grow deeper in their spiritual walk.

Her prayer on a regular basis keeps her close to her Savior:

"Lord, show me what's in my heart that doesn't belong there. Amen."

And He does! May we dare to pray this prayer with Kristi.

Kristi is giving away a copy of her printable Bible Study on being not afraid: Fear What?

Leave a comment to be entered in the drawing! Thank you, Kristi!

Fear’s on a mission. Maybe you or the people surrounding you are living afraid due to health conditions or disease. Perhaps the social climate brings rise to fear. Or, how about everyday situations like rejection, failure, not being enough, etc.?

Most, if not all, of us feel fear’s impact. Sadly, it can stop us in our spiritual tracks. Let’s declare, “No more.”

Truth debunks fear’s power. It really does. Here’s a Bible study to help you in the journey.

A favorite recipe of Kristi's which looks amazing and simple is:

Shoyu Chicken 

We gathered this recipe when we lived in Hawaii. It's not precise, but close enough. :-) 

8-12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2" minced, fresh ginger

Opt: Add 1 c. sugar to soy sauce/Bragg's Liquid Aminos if sweetness is preferred.

Add thighs to a slow cooker. Top with other ingredients and cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken temperature reaches 165 degrees. 

Sides: Cooked short-grain or Jasmine rice make a nice side dish. Add a simple lettuce salad. This is a typical Hawaiian meal.
